Fore® Rainshield® turf and ornamental specialty fungicide is a unique broad-spectrum fungicide for preventive control of brown patch and other key turfgrass diseases. Fore Rainshield is formulated as a wettable powder in water-soluble packets and is also sold as Dithane® 75DF Rainshield® formulations for use on ornamentals.

How Fore® 80WP Rainshield® Specialty Fungicide Works

Mancozeb, the active ingredient in Fore 80WP Rainshield, is a multiple-site enzyme inhibitor that attacks fungi in a nonselective manner and prevents disease organisms from adapting and mutating. This feature gives Fore 80WP Rainshield a successful track record in turf disease control, without ever experiencing a resistance problem.

What is Rainshield Technology?

The mancozeb particles in Fore 80WP Rainshield specialty fungicide are small and refined, so more fungicide remains on the turf blades — allowing long-lasting,broad-spectrum disease control. Dow AgroSciences calls this smaller particle science “Rainshield technology.” Testing has shown that Rainshield technology allows better distribution of active ingredient with fewer gaps in protection. This helps ensure more even and consistent coverage — even after heavy rain or irrigation. This means more Fore 80WP Rainshield remains on the plant surface for a longer time.
